Pros:
  • Powerful V8, rear-wheel drive, predictable handling from fully independent suspension, loaded with standard features.
Cons:
  • Forgettable styling, numerous standard features make it an expensive proposition.

  • The best car Ive ever owned - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    The 04 GTO has to be the best car Ive ever owned. From its understated exterior, to its Corvette underpinnings, to it excellently appointed interior the GTO is the perfect car. The $33,000 price tag is a real bargain given the performance and total vehicle package. In the interior you will not find another vehicle with better seats. The controls are clearly marked and easy to operate. There is not a lot of "fluff" inside to distract the driver, just a great stereo, good HVAC control, a non-GM cruise control (this is good) and a trip computer with meaningul information.

  • In a class of its own - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    Some find the design bland, I find the clean lines to be perfect. Not too busy, and very The interior is fantastic and the seats are the best I have ever sat in and yet hold you firmly. The fit and finish of the interior is by far the best I have seen in a GM product. Suspension is tight, and yet on the highway is smooth as silk. Reminds me of a 8 series BMW, but with a better overall ride. With a fully independant rear end with posi-traction grip and handling are well communicated to the wheels. While the suspension may feel German, the sweet sound and powerband is all American V8. The horsepower is right there, with a ton of torque that will put you in your seat.

    I am very happy with my 2004, GTO. Every time I get into my GTO I am just as excited as the first time I drove it. The car is extremly fun to drive, and the power is awesom. The pick up you feel when you accelerate really puts you back in your seat. I have had my GTO up to 145 mph and it drives just as smooth as it does at 65 mph. Though I do not recomend driving that fast. In my opion I would recommend the GTO to anyone who is looking to buy an affordable sports car that does not sacrifice on power or comfort to keep the price down.

  • Just try one, once. - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    This car is an absolute blast to drive. Drive one just once and you will be hooked. The 5.7L V8 is a great engine thats well-suited to this car. It handles great for a large coupe and delivers better performance for your dollar than probably anything else out there. The interior is very nice, especially for a Pontiac. There is nothing cheap-looking about it. The seats are large and supportive. Ive had mine now for 6 weeks and cant think of a thing Id change.

  • Great Goat - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    The 2004 Pontiac GTO was built in Australia by a GM owned company called Holden. The car is well built with a tight body, a decent sport suspension which does make it ride a little rough and includes independant rear suspension. The car is equipped with the LS1 Corvette engine of 350hp which provides the GTO with good power. I chose the manual 6-speed for my transmission option. The interior is leather with bucket seats both front and rear. I have not had any problems with the car since I have owned it and I thoroughly enjoy driving this vehicle.

    This car is a blast to drive; it is very fast, handles great, brakes are excellent and its comfortable, with plush bucket seats that support, interior finish thats well appointed. The value for the buck is terrific!!! Im very pleased with the GTO.

  • Awesome - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    I drive 40000 miles a year with work, bought my first gto when they first arrived, didnt have it long before my wife took over, just bought my 2nd just last month. totally awesome. people knock the fuel, but if you want performance, power, and the enjoyment of it, then you cant beat it. its actually quite acceptable on the highway with the 6th gear, in town not so great if you like to play, but its worth it. a few complaints about the sound system, but unless you are looking for maximum, its fine too. just take this care anywhere, and for all the plain styling so many criticize, people just beg to look and ask questions. ill keep it til it drops and then put it back together. love it!

  • Awesome Modern GTO - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    I Love this car! It is so fun to drive! The seats are more comfortable than my Tahoe seats. Nothing like raw horsepower with the suspension to match. The interior is beautiful! Im over 6 foot and with my seat all the way back, there is still plenty of leg room in the back. 350 horsepower. 0-60 in 5.3 secs. (Less with just a couple of modifications)

  • The Australian M3 - 2004 Pontiac GTO
    By -

    I had named this review the American M3, but that would not be entirely accurate. I purchased my GTO late in the 2004 model year when GM was offering great incentives. The GTO has been a joy to own. I now have just under 21,000 miles on it and I couldnt be happier. This car has plenty of power on tap, yet can achieve over 30 mpg on the hwy. (6- speed manual). Around town, driven with care, I average 21 mpg. The interior is among the finest GM offers with a clean design and rattle-free construction. The handling is decent for a car this size. The car offers a comfortable ride and feels solid, as it should with the weight this car packs. Overall a nice, clean powerful car.
